Holy CRAP!!! These little buggers are frickin' strong! I accidentally got them together (flat side to flat side), and it took a pair of RoboGrip pliers, a screwdriver, a mallet, and 10 minutes to separate them! I made a box to hold them out of an old ring box (with the foam in it) and wrote a "KEEP AWAY FROM ELECTRONICS" note on it! So powerful!
Luke Richmond i have a hard drive, but no hex screws, a dvd drive but not sure if i should take it apart or save it for a computer as its not to old, and a speaker i cant find.
Great vids bud subscribed! Back when i was around 16 or 17 i randomly took apart a big speaker and found a really powerful magnet. had no clue what to do with it at the time but now it holds around 45 takeaway menus to my fridge its great. haha
I've been doing this since 2000 or so with how people left broken computers for cirb side clean up, but great way to recycle and magnets are always great to have
guys there are some curtains for showers and there are magnets so the curtains dont move and stay in place well use your hnads and rip them out the thing thats protecting them as probably as hard as ripping a baby pillow and you can get 6 magnets and they are strong (thats my way)
My mom suggested that i open up old radios or speaker electronics. Yes i did found one behind the speakers and one of those kids guitar with speakers in it. I opened an old one of it and i found another. The magnet is always behind the speaker. Also ty for the info i didnt know which electtronics to get that from
Another cool thing you do with an old CD-Rom drive is use the stator and can from the drive motor and make your own 3 phase brushless r/c model airplane motor.
I love pulling apart old electronics and looking for components. You can find all sorts of stuff. A lot of good wires and magnets. The cathode tube on an old TV is fun to smash, btw, it's like a giant light-bulb. Though your mother may not like you doing that in her driveway. (Don't ask) ;)
It's probably best to warn people that it isn't hard to seriously injure oneself with strong magnets. a pair of them can cause all sorts of crushing injuries to digits or even limbs in severe cases. magnet pairs that provide enough force to cause major tissue damage can be found in some more modern computer electronics A good rule of thumb is that if you need special tools to take them apart, be very, very careful about when and where they come back together. A friend of a friend was taking apart a big 2TB hard drive, and once he'd pried the magnets apart, he put one in each pocket. Those magnets found their way back together relatively quickly... apparently it did not end well.
Oliver Rapp I don't know exactly what happened, I was just recounting an anecdote someone else told me (I'm not in contact with them any more, unfortunately) All he said was that the guy put a magnet in each pocket, and they found their way back together. He said "You can imagine what happened", making a gesture inwards from his hips. I'm not sure if the guy just had some bruising, something more serious like a fracture or worse. Sorry I can't be of more help. A quick google search can lead you to examples of people getting fingers and such crushed by strong magnets which sometimes flew distances of around 50cm before they found their mark.
How pounds would you say the magnets from the computer hard drive hold? Also, are there any magnets in old video game consoles like PS2, Xbox, ect that doesn't work. I also have an old scanner that doesn't work
Lol. Is "niiice" your favourite word? :) I love your videos. Science is actually really fascinating. Keep up the good work. P.S. CZcams, please include the English spelling of words in your spell checker. "Colour" and "Favourite" are correctly spelt, just not in "US simplified English".
I was playing with a pair of these from an old hard drive once, and I accidentally chipped through the outer casing of one. Tiny little magnetized metal filings started pouring out of it. Just a warning not to be *too* rough with these.
I think that the magnets in the hard-drive are used kinda like brakes, but I'm not sure. As for the one in the speakers, there's an electromagnet that has a rapid electric pulse depending on what's being played, the electromagnet will turn on and off attracting & repelling the neodymium magnet and producing vibrations, which we perceive as sound.
methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is a solvent found in hardware stores and it works pretty good at breaking down cured adhesives and even two part epoxies. Most of the speaker magnets I see are attached via some sort of glue.
edgarsbrother fedgar Why not think to yourself "does what I'm asking about have a hard drive or a speaker of some sort?" If the answer is yes, then the answer to your original question is most likely yes too.
My wife and I fell out a few years back but we both loved magnets! In the end it was the magnets that brought us back together..
They say opposites attract...
Derek Ribeiro no stop it
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊@@dillowribeiro5586
I love magnets. Wonder how I'm ever going to look at my electronics without wanting to rip them apart now?
Remember how much they will cost to replace them after you tear them apart - that should stop you doing it... :)
I don´t know about you, but I usually find old hard drives in flea markets, for like 5 dollars, I have like 4 pairs of neodymium magnets at home :P
just buy broken electronics and then rip them apart for their magnets

did anyone else want to take apart their old electronic shit after?
I did
Luke Richmond i have a hard drive, but no hex screws, a dvd drive but not sure if i should take it apart or save it for a computer as its not to old, and a speaker i cant find.
Logo Gamer123 i allways take apart them
Luke Richmond yes
Luke Richmond I have two stereo or whatever and there's magnets in there and I want them
Great vids bud subscribed!

Where are my old hard drives?
One of the best things I ever learned was that EVERY speaker contains a magnet! Changed my life :)
hahaha
Another is iPad cases they have small powerful magnets inside the fabric cover for the smart sleep/wake function !
Andrew what did u do to the computer!! HAHAHAHA. That's just so funny. Thanks for the tips anyway
I've been doing this since 2000 or so with how people left broken computers for cirb side clean up, but great way to recycle and magnets are always great to have
Yeah. As a kid I'd take old TVs and stuff off the road and harvest the electronics.
2:57 omg so cool thanks for sharing i wanna collect magnets from old electronics now have 2 from a broken dvd player and they're so fun!!!
Hey I had that exactly same toy gun. Wow good memories with that thing when I was a kid.
guys there are some curtains for showers and there are magnets so the curtains dont move and stay in place well use your hnads and rip them out the thing thats protecting them as probably as hard as ripping a baby pillow and you can get 6 magnets and they are strong (thats my way)
I am now thinking of all the items in my loft I can find magnets
Brilliant vid

ANDREW WHAT DID U DO WITH THA COMPUTER?!

That was pretty amazing. I wonder what you would find in your phones. Idea, check an old phone you may have a check it for magnets!
They do have gold in them! Only about $1. But keep it! Because in the upcoming apocalypse paper money is useless but gold is still rare. :)
3:10 I very wonder what did you do with the computer! LOL!
Another cool thing you do with an old CD-Rom drive is use the stator and can from the drive motor and make your own 3 phase brushless r/c model airplane motor.
thank you so much.was just about to buy a magnet.your video drew my attention to an old stereo speaker i have...cheers man :-)
I got a bunch of old broken hard drives & speakers lying around. I might have to break 'em apart now!
'im just going to the building site!' *picks up the giant niodinium magnet and picks all his tools on it*
Now, where were those old computers that my parents had....

darn, im sure hard drive magnets couldent go thru him, maybe they went around front and pinched his manly parts
zaq1320 Did he have his balls crushed? D:
Maybe. That would really, really suck.
one of my favs old HDD magnets
Was about to throw out an old CD drive too. Know what I'm going to do first. :D
Don't forget to salvage the powerful laser from the cd drives too! With a bit of effort you can make them burn shit
Yes. Just yes. Thanks for this video!
made a magnetic mount for my gopro out of the magnets from a old harddrive. works perfect.
Doesn´t it damage the camera because of the magnetic field?
Royal Fenikkusu
no it works really fine. no problems at all.
I had a laptop failed hard drive laying around. I opened it and I wasn't expecting how strong the magnets inside we're.
How pounds would you say the magnets from the computer hard drive hold? Also, are there any magnets in old video game consoles like PS2, Xbox, ect that doesn't work. I also have an old scanner that doesn't work
i auctly get magnets from junkyards ( mostly cars ) and i use a metal tag that helps me locate magnets

This is how Magneto started.
we used to have a few hard drive magnets on the fridge. theyre pretty strong
that's it, i'm going to sneak into those electronic dumpsters. wish me luck.
so awesome it worked this magnet i got is so very strong and is about an inch long
Hey mist8k I actully figured and found one of those huge mags
Yeah magnets bitch!
Superbacon90 it's "yeah bitch, MAGNETS!"
Sooooooooo coooollll I love your videos mist8k
I was playing with a pair of these from an old hard drive once, and I accidentally chipped through the outer casing of one. Tiny little magnetized metal filings started pouring out of it. Just a warning not to be *too* rough with these.
ye hangred, what have you done with the computer??!! XD lol
I used to do that before. I already destroyed too many speakers back then.
2:00 I had one of these
Gooooood for yoooooooou
Andy what did u do to the computer. :p
It's nice to see your face again!
How Did You Remove The Metal Cover From The Hard Drive?
i'll never have to waste money going to the store for magnet again!!!! :D
I LOVE MAGNETS!!!
would this work on a cauculater
An old mobile phone might provide you with up to three small but powerful magnets from speakers etc.
mine had only one magnet :p btw great video!
this is helpful now I can get so many magnets that I will be able to take over the world
Did you succeed?
3:10 lmaoo
Alright Those magnets are for my SPEED CUBES
coooool, thanks for sharing man!!
where are u from?
FUCK ME WHAT DO YOU FEED THAT PUMPKIN OF YERZ? LOL
thanks it is true
Thanks I got one
Cool!
OK THX
what are you doing on the computer?
Thanks I got a old speaker now I know what to do with it
I found 4 neodymium magnets in my DVD writer
Awesome
I found one in our old computer i salvaged some other stuff to
I have the toy magnet so strong for real!!!
how 2 open the mini speaker. thanks
Wow Awesome
Nice!
do all speakers have magnets inside?
Totally...
What does your tattoo look like and how many do you have
what kind of speaker
Did you just cut open the hard drive? I have the same one and can't open it.
Look for little stamps, they usually have screws underneath. You can look up tutorials on how to open up electronics.
I got a nasty cut from a hard drive magnet. They are so strong!
2:32 pe konsi device hai sir pls tell
I wish you would upload more
i found even stronger magnets, they could lift 5kg each and there were 4 of them in a 4disced harddrive (a very old one)
What do you use the magnets for?
To make electric motors~
to Attract Chicks... Because magnets attract... U NO
Fix his teeth :)
Pls always be careful with the knives
hey um can u tell me why are there magnets inside of those what is there function?
I think that the magnets in the hard-drive are used kinda like brakes, but I'm not sure.

***** thank you
Andy what did you do with the computer!!!!!!!!😳😳😳😳
I love your face, please show it more often.
What's the background music?
What about an old dvd player?
i've did the big speaker thingie
Im going to find magnets in my old pc!!!
I did get the hard drive ones out, but not together, the glue that was holding them was to strong
And the DVD player was fairly easy
there is no glue in a hard disk drive
How did you remove the metal part from the speaker magnet
Khaster get a hammer and bang the sides into like a taco, then a get a flat head and get it out
methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is a solvent found in hardware stores and it works pretty good at breaking down cured adhesives and even two part epoxies. Most of the speaker magnets I see are attached via some sort of glue.
quick question can you still find magnets in newer computers
New computers have hard drives. Figured out.
Chinesefoodrocks1521 how bout laptops
edgarsbrother fedgar Why not think to yourself "does what I'm asking about have a hard drive or a speaker of some sort?"
If the answer is yes, then the answer to your original question is most likely yes too.
can you find idiots on youtube?
edgarsbrother fedgar only plastic ones now !
You would disable a raygun, just for magnets??!! Go from me!
Is there any in iPods?
No
haha...man I lov the intro...pop out
He killed gummy bear,check it out but it's so sad,because he killed gummy bear.

Oh, yay, now I have a reason to rip up my dead laptop \o/
I wonder if this'll work with an old Psp, or a Nintendo
+Alex Chin Unless it's a Wii don't take it apart.
